This albatross is yelling at us to pay attention. These albatrosses are discussing their future. This albatross is sticking its bill in its wing rather than think about it. This albatross is looking us in the eye, daring us to look away. ©KateSutherland

yesss 1 year later, 1st migratory trip ever recorded for Grant's band-rumped #StormPetrel from #CanaryIs just recovered in #MontañaClara by @Begarcia98 & @GIAranega 🏆😍💪 This is just a raw trip with large errors but enough to confirm they "winter" in summer off Eastern USA!
One main objective of our visit to #MontañaClara is to study the migration of this poorly known cool population of band-ramped #StormPetrel in #CanaryIs. We found 19 nests and deployed 7 #geolocators. Now we have to wait for 1y to get them back!! 🤞🤞@begarcia89 #Hydrobates

The Cahow Experience is happening now in Bermuda! While the weather has been a challenge so far (no offshore trips yet), some of us did take a taxi out to Coopers Island Nature Reserve to sea watch last evening. We saw at most a dozen at one time - spectacular! 3 Nov 2023

The story behind the discovery and current research on Vanuatu Petrel has so many layers- worth getting your head around if you’ve got 25 minutes for the podcast.
Great to hear the story of this precious bird & know that it is getting the attention it deserves. Photo by Stephen Totterman: Colin Miskelly & I on the colony in 2011 (NB our accidentally matching outfits & Colin still grinning despite the bird having its bill around his finger)

Seabirds will respond dramatically following the rodent eradication on Lord Howe Island but if you want insight into how the terrestrial birds were steered through this, see our latest work. Wrapped up by 10 years of monitoring and survey. link.springer.com/content/pd…
